Patented July 22, 1913..

Application filed 'August 14, 1911'. Serial No. 643,980.

To all whom t may concern Beit known that l, EDWARD J. BRANDT, a citizen of the United States, and resident of "Watertown, in the county of Jefferson and Staate of Viisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin- Delivery Machines; and lt do hereby declare that rthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof. A

The invention relates to an improvement in coin delivery machines, its objects being to simplify construction, lessen cost of manufacture and pro-vide compact dur-ably organized and eiiicient coin-delivery machines of the type now generally known as Brandt automatic cashiers, t-he improved machine herein disclosed being analogous in some features to the one set forth in prior Patent No. 923,013, of May 25, 1909, and others to which the same refers.

Figure l of the drawings represents a vertical longitudinal section view of my impro-ved coin-delivery machine, this view being indicated byline 1 1 in the second figure of the series; Fig. 2, a horizontal section view of the major `portion of the machine, the same being indicated by line 2-2 in Fig.v 1; Fig. 3, a transverse sectionview of the machine indicated by line 3--3 in Fig. 2; Fig. l, a plan View of a fragment of the machine illustrating a preferred arrangement of push-keys of the same; Fig. 5, a1

The herein described machine is a combination of what is known as a payer and a changer machine, and said machine is schemed to employ but fifty'four actuating keys for mechanism for the ejectment of coin in value from one lcent to one dollar of United States money, whereas it has heretofore been the practice to' employ one-hundred push-keys for the same purpose in either a vpaying or changing machine. Another snch-key'is employed to actuate mechanism that effects ejectment of dollars from the coin-tray, and other push devices are employed to operate mechanism that preventsy the ejectment from said tray of twenty-five and fifty cent coins in various combinations, when change out of twentyfive, fifty or seventy-tive cents is to be made by an operation of one or a pair of the aforesaid push-keys. The improved machine is also organized to provide for trapping coin inI thedclivery chute for the same, and italso includes single spring-controlled rocker inthe pathof each ofa series of springsuspended coin-pusher rockers. The rocker first aforesaid is hereinafter desi nated b the term universal rocker and its function is to return' any depressed coinpusher rocker or rockers to normal position upon release of'an actuating key onkeys for the same, the Spring in connection with each coin-pusher rocker 'being only of sullicient normal tension to prevent fall of said rocker when said universal rocker is moved awayl from the same, or in other words when that particular coin-pusher rocker is not 1nvolved in a. coiirdelivery operation.

vlach coin-pusher is put in spring-coin trolled pivotal connection with a sliding carrier attached to a lever-arm of one of the springsuspended rockers, this and other Aployed in Brandt automatic cashiers,

each of said plates being provided with a spring-co-ntrolled shank A guided lin a slotted top B of the nfachine casing and in a slotted plate B suspended from said casing-top. The shank aforesaid is in connection. with the shank C of 'a push-button C and the push-button shank is guided' in the top-,of said casingl` .Each edgewise plate and push-button therewith constitutes what is herein termed`a key of the machine, its preferred construction, as thus far disclosed, having been heretofore set forth in Patent No. 824,841, of July 3, 190e.v

The present construction of casing and the arrangement of the various parts dier from the construction shown in the above mentioned patent in the following essential particulars: The back portion of the machine or casing in which the keys are arranged is preferably made so that it will assume an inclined position, as shown more particularly in Fig. l, while the forward portion 'of the casing where the coin tray and the pushers, presently to be described,`

are located, is arranged at a different inclination. One of the advantages of this arrangement may be stated to be that the coins are positioned in substantially vertical piles, so that they may be fed by gravity while the keys are arranged atan incline, thus exposing the numbers which are placed on the top of the keys to the full view of the operator, who usually is positioned in fro-nt of the machine. With this arrangement, the keys are arranged at an incline and all the parts adjacent thereto are properly fashioned and associated for ready operation. This is a material advantage over what has heretofore been known as the flat type of machine. structionl of the inclined back portion is that it affords full lclearance below the machine and in other ways renders the machine more compact and advantageously arranged for operation. As is also usual in Brandt au tomat-ic cashiers, the plate portion offeach key is provided with a foot or feet, and each foo-t rests \on` one of a series of transverse rockers, each rocker D being cranked at both ends and journaled in the sides of the frameworkof the machine. Like in the patent first aforesaid, the rockers are suspended in the machine'by spiral-springs F attached to said framework, and each rocker is vprovided with a supplemental crank D', the sameconstituting what is herein termed the lever-arm of said rocker. To limit A further advantage of the con-` Ig2, s f '1,068,307V

downward swing of the rockers, an up` wardly notched stop-plate D is made fast standard AE', and'having a recessed upper -part in pivotal connection with the upper recessed end of the same is a coin-pusher 100 oppo-sed to expansive force of a spiralspring c for which said standard is providedwith a socket.` -As best shown in Fig.

10, the pivot Z for each coin-pusher is 'a pin provided with a flanged head d and engaging said head against its-fiangeisone end of a spring-plate' e fastened a-t its other end to the adjacentl carrier-standard by a screw f engaging said standard, this being an im- 'portant detail of the machine designed to prevent automatic separation of a coinpusherfrom its carrier. It is suiicient that the pushers for the smaller coin have directcontact with the springs inthe standards of their carriers, but-it is preferred, as shown in Fig. 10, to interpose a shouldered plunger g between each pusher for the larger coinl and the adjacent spring to obtain the best results.

The front-plate H ofthe machine-casing v`is supported o-n an angular ledge I of said casing, to which the com-delivery chute J is fastened, the lower edge of said front plate being provided with guide-notches for. the several coin-pushers held down against resistance of the springs 0 in the standards of their carriers.

All of the rockers D oppose the universal rocker K to which reference is had in the foregoing, the crank-ends of this rocker jbeing pivotally connectedv to brackets L that are fast on the bottom F of the aforesaidof the removable coin-tray P of` the machine, this tray beinggenerally similar to the one disclosed in the patent first aforesaid. The ledge YI is provided with dowelpins z'. for engagement with sockets in. the coin-tray, and saidtray is provided with vrear upper keepers for canrlatches Q in piv otal connection with the sides R of the machine casing. Each keeper is a pin y'crossing a recess in an ear of the coin-tray trame,

and the engagement of a latch Q. with said keeper is against resistance of the springbar O, whereby the coin-tray is securely held in detachable connection with the casing aforesaid.

Like in the patent irst aforesaid, `the bottoni ot' the coin-tray is provided with guidegrooves for the coin-piishers of the machine and these pushers are severally indexed as 50, 2.5, 10, 5, Q, 1 and As in the prior art, one of the guide grooves of the cointray is made to accommodate paired coin pushers 1 and :2 for which the plate H is correspondingly notched. The usual clearance is provided at the lower end of each compartment of the coin-tray to permit of the expulsion from said compartment of one or more coin by the relative pusher.

The tray herein shown has compartments for titty, twenty-tive, ten, five and one cent coins, and a single compartment for one dollar coins, and said compartments are indexed 50, 25, 10, 5, 1 and Sl, there being two compartments 10 and 1, and the paired coinpushers 1 and 2 aforesaid are relative to a compartment 1 of said tray. To prevent more than one coin being ejected when the pusher 1 of the pair aforesaid has forward thrust, a spring-controlled detent m is pivotally hung in a recess of a rib n of the cointray to be in the path ot the coin next above the lowermost coin. The detent is best shown in Fig. 15, 'as having a shank m engaging a spiral-spring mf under tension in a 'socket with which the coin-tray rib a is' provided, and said detent takes the place ot the spring-wire specified in the patent tirst aforesaid for the same purpose, there being ready yield of the same to pressure of the coin .in rear thereof when the pusher 2 of said pair is actuated.

The organization of the; present machine is such as to provide tort-he ejectment-of two one dollar coins from the SB compartment ot the tray each time the it pusher is actuated, and a spring-controlled detent is provided for holding back the last dollar coin when it occurs that there are three such coin in the tray and the one uppermost tends to move forward with the other two and tilt out of the tray. The dollarfdetent is best shown in Fig. 14, as being a tongue S pivoted at one end in an under recess of the' bottom of the lcoin-tray and having a i vertical disposed lug s on its exposed outer end, this lug constituting the coin stop.

The tongue is provided with a notch with which its controlling spring s engages, this spring being in opposition to a wall of the playjrecess for said tongue. The dollardetent yields to the passage of two coins, but immediately snaps back in the path of the third coin. The play recess for the dollar-detent is closed at the bottom by a plate t" fastened to the coin-tray, by screws or otherwise, and said detent is pivoted on the plate.

The mechanism for depressing the coinpusher 50 out of working position consists ci. a springcontrolled angular bail T 'hav ing a lateral lug Q over against said pusher tor which a clearance-groove r is provided in the ledge 1, the arms of this bail being guided in the top otl the machine-casing and pivotally connected to those of another angular rocker-bail U loose on a rod V for which a supporting yoke V is provided on the aforesaid casing bottom. One arm of the bail T is extended below its connection with the bail U and the extension is provided with a cam-notch t and a keeper notch 'u alternately engageable by a spring-controlled latching-rocker 1V supported in bearings t on said casing-bottom in the path ot' the carriers for the fractional coin pushers. The mechanism for depressing the 5() and 25 coin-pushers comprises an angu* lar spring-controlled bail T having a lateral wing g over against said pushers, and a clearance groove p for the pusher 25 is alsovprovided in the aforesaid ledge. The arms ot the bail T are guided in said casw ing-top and pivotally connected to those of another angular rocking-bail U loose on the rod V. One 'arm of the bail T is eX- tended below `its connection with the bail U and the extension notched similar to the arn1extension of the bail T, and for the same purpose. The controlling springs yv of the latching-rocker W are connected to it and theplate G on the aforesaid casingbottoin. The springs X, X', in connection with the bails T, T', respectively, are suspended under tension from inner lugs w of the aforesaid casing-top. Vhen either of the bails'T or T is depressed, the keepernotch ot the arm-extension thereof engages the latching-rocker 1V, by which it is held until again disengaged by a forward thrust ot one or more of the coin-pusher carriers. The automatic latching of either of said bails, in depressed position, leaves both hands of the operator free for other opera* tions of the machine. this being important.

1t is also to be, noted that it' the bail T is depressed by mistake for the bail T or vice versa, the depression ofthe other bail will effect .a release of the one first depressed, the one last depressed being automatically latched in that position.v

The coin delivery chute J is oif the same general construction as the one in the patent first aforesaid, except that it is -wallcd at the front and provided with a lower cen tral depression having a bottom opening for which a spring-controlled sliding trap-door Y is provided. The underside rear portion of the trap-door is provided with a semicircular push iiange @lo by which to facilitate the pushing back of said door to permit coin from the delivery-chute to drop into. the

center of the hand of the operator. A shank a: of the trap-door is fast in a longitudinally slotted sleeve Z closed at its rear end by a screw-plug Z. The sleeve and its slot engage a guide-bracket Z fastened to the underside of the bottom of the aforesaid casing, and extending forward from said bracket is a pin y on which the spiral controlling spring z of the trap-door is centered. To `deaden noise incidental to reciprocation of the trap-door, a cushion-disk z is interposed between the guide-bracket Z and the sleeve-plug Z, and a similar disk is interposed between the shank of said door and the forward end of the spring a strikes against the pin y.

From theforegoing it is evident that the trap-door of the coin-delivery chute closes automatically, said door being supported and guided in brackets Y Y attached to said chute, and as best shown in Fig. 8, one of these brackets also serves as a .guide for an angular slidingystop b designed to be adjusted into the forward path of the aforesaid trap-door to hold the same in its open position whenever desirable. One side of the stop b is provided with a pair of indentures and one of the other of they same is engaged by a spring-controlled ball c to hold said stop in or out of the forward path of the trap-door, the guide-bracket for the aforesaid stop being provided with a barrel e' in which said ball and the spring f opposed thereto are continued, the spring bemay use both hands to manipulatethe keys of said machine, said door being slid back when a change making or paying operation has been effected. i

In Fig. 4, is shown the disposition of the I keys of the improved machine, and reading up, the first two rows, contain jointly seventeen keys'intended to be operated when two rows would be operated to obtain thirj the dummy tens key and then to the properv change out of a dollar is desired, after a saleinvolving cents from one to nine orwithl a v larger amount in tens, a tens key and a units key to \the`, amount of the sale being operated." Thus if the sale amounted to eighty-seven cents, the keys 80 and 7 of said teen cents out of one dollar. In said series of keys the one indexed 90 is a dummy and useful only to avoid confusion when change out of a dollar is required 'for a sale over ninety cents, the operator mentally going to The trap-door being in closed position, the operator of the machine units key. The next two rows jointly of but nineteen keys in all are intended for effecting operations to obtain change out ofone dollar for sales to the value of five cents or multiples of the same up to ninety-five cents. The next above single row of ten keys are intended for eifecting paying operations in amounts from ten to nineteen cents inclusive, and the tive keys in the row next above to the left are intended for effecting paying operations `in amounts from one to five;` cents. the right are `intended for eecting paying operations in a variety of coins totaling amounts of twenty-tive and fifty cents, and one dollar respectively, and the lower left hand key is intended for paying a sum of three dollars, its operation effecting an ejectment of two one dollar coins, a fifty, twentyfive, two tens and one tive cent-.coinfrom the tray. To hold back -fifty cents out of a dollar when operating a change key. or keys, t-he bail T is depressed and likewise to hold back twenty-five or seventy-five ,cents the The three keys in the` upper row to are connected, a turning member underlying said rockers comprising 'a pivoted swinging frame and a spring for forcing the frame upward.
